Islamabad, September 11 (NDTV.COM) Pakistan has denied an international media report that Taliban chief Mullah Omar, who is on the US most wanted list, is living in Pakistan.

"There has been no evidence about the presence of Mullah Omar in Pakistan," a government statement released in Islamabad said shortly after the CNN reported that Omar was living in the country.

The statement termed the CNN report as "baseless" adding it was a "concocted story and nothing but mere figment of reporters' imagination".

Although Pakistan has repeatedly denied such accusation, the latest one came after CNN reported from Kabul that Omar is living in Pakistan, though not in the same area where Osama bin Laden is thought to be.

Meanwhile, Pakistani Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz on Saturday said his country had played a vital role in fighting terrorism after the September 11, 2001, attacks in America.
